[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for FBI: Most Wanted Season 4 Episode 5 “Chains.”]
Even off the clock, if the brokers of the Fugitive Job Power see one thing, they should do one thing. And within the newest FBI: Most Needed, that results in Hana (Keisha Citadel-Hughes) getting kidnapped after she notices bruises round a younger lady’s (Dalya Knapp’s Ollie) wrists at a relaxation cease.
Hana can basically MacGyver their approach out of the room through which they’re stored — Ollie’s father has been trafficking her — and save a child in the home within the course of. And the agent tells the younger lady the story of what led to her getting on the FBI’s radar and Jess (Julian McMahon, who exited final season) stepping in to present her a selection: face expenses or work a case. 9 years later, she’s nonetheless there. Did it ever cease hurting? Ollie asks. Not utterly, Hana admits.
How will Hana be coping with this shifting ahead? We turned to Citadel-Hughes to search out out.
How’s Hana coping after every little thing that occurred going ahead? Will we see it onscreen?
Keisha Citadel-Hughes: We’re going to see how she offers with it, and unsurprisingly, there may be a whole lot of her not coping with it, to start with. There’s a whole lot of protocol — the agent must go to counseling and remedy and [have] a bunch of paperwork, and so we’re getting perception into these elements of the job we don’t usually get to see.
So is she avoiding remedy?
She may be very a lot in avoidance and denial, to start with, for positive. The hope is that over time, that is going to be one thing that’s going to assist her to open up extra.

Since she’s not coping with it, is she pushing individuals away or simply not speaking about it?
At first, we simply see her not speaking about it, and I feel dissociating somewhat bit. The preliminary aftermath is Hana treating it as if it was a case that she labored on versus one thing that occurred to her personally.
Who will she finally lean on?
Hana and Ray’s [Edwin Hodge] relationship is a extremely strong friendship that’s creating. He’s a way more open individual, his character’s actually shiny and shiny and bubbly, and he loves to speak loads, and I feel that’s serving to Hana [as is] them residing collectively. We begin to see her and him open up and develop this actually cool friendship past the office.
Hana opens as much as Ollie about her previous, which needed to be robust not simply due to what occurred but additionally as a result of it needed to remind her of shedding Jess. And in speaking about what occurred to her, she’s trustworthy that it by no means stops hurting utterly. Why was it essential not only for Ollie to listen to that however for Hana to confess that for herself?
The journey between Hana and Ollie is a extremely intense one in that there’s a whole lot of stuff in actual time that Hana is coping with by making an attempt to assist Ollie as nicely. And so though she’s talking these tales out loud to Ollie and making an attempt to present her power, I feel Hana’s saying the stuff simply as a lot to herself. She’s sort of fallen right into a profession that now she’s been in for the higher a part of a decade and hasn’t had a whole lot of time to take a seat and replicate and take into consideration these issues. This, in a bizarre approach, gave her a chance to actually sort of have a look at how far she’s come and to take inventory of how grateful she is for the place she’s landed.

Speak about filming this episode as a result of at sure elements early on within the kidnapping, we see issues from Hana’s perspective, which labored so nicely.
Yeah, it was such a special episode. Elizabeth Rinehart, who wrote it, actually flipped it on its head. I feel usually once we’re doing procedurals, we get right into a rhythm, and that’s the forged, the administrators, the producers, the crew, as a complete, all of us have methods through which we do issues. It’s at all times thrilling and invigorating for all of us, and I discovered that even the digital camera division, the grip division, we have been all sort of determining with [director] Ken Girotti other ways to shoot this episode in order that it felt totally different from what we normally see. And I feel that it turned out very well, notably the factors the place we’re seeing the world from Hana’s perspective.
And speak about filming the Hana and Heather (Amanda Corday) struggle. Now I need to see extra of Hana in motion scenes!
I do know. We had a whole lot of enjoyable doing it. Ken and I did focus on the struggle with our stunt coordinator, Declan [Mulvey], and we mentioned from the get-go that the struggle wanted to really feel as unchoreographed because it might. It wanted to really feel uncooked and messy. It wasn’t an everyday set-up the place it was an agent chasing a foul man, it was coming from an actual place of uncooked emotion, and I feel we managed to tug it off. But it surely was a really exhausting night time taking pictures that struggle, and our stunt crew is unbelievable. There’s no approach I can take almost any of the credit score for many of it as a result of they’re those that are available in and make Hana look higher.
I’ve to say I beloved the Crosby (Kellan Lutz, who exited after the Season 3 premiere) point out on this episode. It’s good to listen to about him, and there’s additionally what he means to Hana, and it is a Hana-centric episode.
Completely. It was good, in the identical approach, that she talks about Jess on the finish. I feel it’s essential typically to keep in mind that these characters, exterior of being brokers, are actual individuals who have actual relationships. Crosby and Hana have been superb mates, and I prefer to suppose most likely nonetheless communicate and are nonetheless actually good mates — and what Jess meant to Hana as nicely. So it’s good once we get moments the place we are able to sort of humanize them and contact on these issues. And it’s good for the viewers to really feel concerned in that a part of their world.
